Dear members of Goan media,
Goa IT Professionals [GITP] lauds the efforts made by Mr. Ameya Abhyankar IAS, who is currently the Director of IT among other portfolios; in setting the ball rolling towards building the prospects of the IT industry in the state. GITP feels that what he has achieved after assuming his office in the IT department is truly remarkable. Given the track record of the Department of IT prior to him assuming office, it was very much in need of such a dynamic leadership. Laying the roadmap for the Tuem ESDM park and Chimbel IT park, efforts made for local interaction with the various stakeholders, Partnerships/MoU with Google and Amazon, Development of Incubation facilities in the State, exploring options like Google Loon to counter internet bandwidth shortfall, spearheading Governments Outreach program to the various IT majors are some of the milestones that Mr. Abhyankar has achieved with his team. Mr. Abhyankar has taken significant proactive steps that have not been witnessed in the past. He is highly approachable, receptive to suggestions and a go-getter in his approach. The IT community and the State of Goa at large need more leaders like Mr. Abhyankar in the Administration. GITP believes that there still a long way to go and that the vigour and enthusiasm that Mr Abhyankar brings with him is needed to be sustained and encouraged at all levels of governance, more particularly IT industry development. Over the years, the lack of suitable IT infrastructure in the state has driven away a lot of Goan youth to the neighbouring cities, and thus causing the dilution of the Goan Identity. GITP insists that Mr. Abhyankar be suitably recognized by the Government for his efforts and ensure he is allowed to serve the State for another term with ever increasing zeal and passion.
